FAX of 11 Sept '00 (with five questions)
----------------------------------------
1. Omit the "TYPE" attribute from instances of
in the document. We can add any types that are necessary
here. (I know that I suggested using
but I'd forgotten that the TYPE attribute had been
deliberately omitted from your version of the DTD.
We should probably keep it that way for consistency
with other projects).
2. (question about a DIV containing
s followed by
a subdivision.)
If
elements contain lower-level
elements,
e.g. if a contains s, then the entire
needs to be subdivided into s; you cannot
(as you note) begin to divide the into paragraphs,
and then introduce a . The first portion of the
needs to be contained within a too, even
though it does not have its own , like this:
The Biological Station
The first para...
The second para...
The last para...
Courses and Faculty
The one and only para ...
Conferences
The one and only para ...
Research
the one and only para ...
3. (The question of underlined headings)
This question is answered by the guidelines (under "Formatting",
first point): "underlined type should be recorded with the ...
tag ..., unless the ... underlining is being used to mark a
structural role."
That is, an underlined heading--one that is underlined simply
because it is a heading--should be recorded as The
Biological Station, *not* as The Biological
Station. All of your examples are of the same kind:
in none of them should the be recorded.
4. (The question of a set of tables with a common heading "TABLE II").
I suggest following your first option: nest the tables, like this
(note that construction of tables is very much like that in HTML,
with the "COLS" and "ROWS" attributes of corresponding to
the "COLSPAN" and "ROWSPAN" attributes of
, and the
element):
TABLE II

Lands$6,346,304.58Buildings$35,96,37.47

Including HospitalExcluding HospitalAmountPer CentAmountPer CentStudent fees$1,860,181.3218.41$1,860,181.3223.47
* * *

The first nested
could also be done as a .
5. (Getting
to parse.)
It may sometimes require some imaginative tagging to get
to parse, mostly because illustrations can
appear in so many unexpected places.
In the case you mention, the easiest would probably
be as follows; this solution assumes that "Part I" and "History
and Administration" are s for the same
; one
could tag them in that case as a single spread
over several pages, with a
embedded in it:
Part I
Old University Hall
History and Administration
Alternatively, if you think "Part I" and "History and
Administration" s for two different levels of
division, then the easiest solution would probably be
to give the plate a
of its own, like this:
Part I
Old University Hall
History and Administration

1. ( followed by tables in same division.)
I think that the easiest solution to this kind
of problem is to increase the number of divisions, i.e.,
place the two tables in a
of their own, parallel
to the other
s that make up the entry. In the case
that you mention, you could try something like this:
...

the Medical School. The Bureau of
Psychological Services and the Statistical
Research Laboratory remain under the administration
of the Graduate School.
